>> admit when they don't know something... encourage you to validate that with data Correlating this with employee performance data might not be the only metric. My experience is that people that won't admit they don't know something are not necessarily bad employees. Often they are capable employees, although this is a trait I rarely see in the best employees. However, I find they are toxic to a good work environment, since they won't listen to people who do know something. They do seem to get promoted to management had a much higher rate :)
